    Ok, this is a bit weird, but my childhood best friend and his partner were having a debate over the merits of California's proposed ban on infant circumcision. Honestly, I'm a bit lost on why it's a big issue in the gay community. Regardless, the conversation got a bit random and he asked me if Logan would have regrown his foreskin if he were circumcised at birth. I initially said no because it would have already been long healed by the time he got his powers, then I remembered he's had his member blown completely blown off (with the rest of his skin) and at least two occasions. So how did it grow back, cut or uncut?

    After getting his bits blown off on more than one occasion, maybe his body finally decided having male bits is pointless and decides to grow female bits instead. How's that for freaky ? LOL

    I know! I gave the answer that it probably didn't grow back, but then I kept thinking about him getting blown up by Nitro and having to regrow the whole thing.

    If James Howlett had an arm cut off in the years before he'd developed his mutant powers; then that would not have regrown. However, given that he grew in a society where circumcision was not the norm, then it is highly unlikely he'd had that performed upon him when he was still a newborn baby.

    Honestly, this sort of thing is funny in Mallrats. It's just sad in real life.

    @xerox-kitty: Thank you for your answer, I was wondering if his ability was like that of a vampire where he'd retain scars and injuries from before he changed or if his mutant ability caused his body to revert back to his DNA blueprint when regrowing nearly his entire body. The infant circumcision legislation is quite the hot button issue at the moment and that's what somehow led into the discussion.  http://www.edgesanfrancisco.com/index.php?ch=news&sc=national&sc3=&id=120176  I really don't see how this is any sadder than asking if a Green Lantern ring could shoot kryptonite radiation or if the Hulk is stronger than Superman. Looking down your nose at people because you don't think they're being mature enough when talking about comic book characters is a bit farcical.

    Pretty much what anyone else put down I agree with. His mutant healing factor didn't actually " activate " until a certain age, like most mutant powers do,
    so it would have been a moot point.
    " If he had " had his mutant power though, it would regenerate, just as his Lil' Wolverine did when the Hood shot it off.

    @GTG12: Apparently, on rare occasions some dudes get their junk damaged beyond repair by a botched circumcision. The backers of the ban consider it to be genital mutilation and it's a medically unnecessary procedure.  
     
    @lectriccolossus: Haha, thanks for the congrats. Hopefully you're right and we never explicitly find out. It does bother me a little that his healing factor remembers injuries he had before his powers manifested (as opposed to fixing his body when it doesn't line up with his genetic code), but hell, he even regrows the same haircut so I guess that's probably true.

    I dont see how he would be circumcised sense it wasnt as common as it is today and it is almost 50/50 now in the US.. i think it is like over 40 % no longer circumcise their children. Wolverine isnt jewish so he probably wouldnt have. Aside from that even if he was it wouldnt grow back unless their was massive damage to that area.. what i mean once his power activated it wouldnt grow back since it would already be healed.
     
    aside from that Shadowcat didnt say anything when she and Jubes saw him naked when he was walking around the mansion naked. It would have been a perfect time to mention it especially with Kitty  being jewish.. anyways.. both ladies were impressed by Logan.. >_>

    If only Jean Grey knew of his amazing skill at regrowing his royal jewels, she would've hooked up with him instead of Cyke.

    @GTG12: It's not my fight, it seems to have turned out fine for me. I don't have a problem with circumcision, but any surgery no mater how minor has the potential for screw ups and infection. 
     
    @castleking: He has had to regrow the whole thing on several occasions, he's been reduced to a skeleton and had it shot off before. That's what's made me wonder.

    i was just going to make a post aboult this. i'd imagen he still has his foreskin, Because in the 1910's circumcision was only for jews, & he was sickly so they wouldn't have tried it anyways. I kinda wonder the same thing aboult jimmy hudson & Daken. on a side note i've always wondered if there would be any point to waxing his back.
